Show"N"Tell ( Your Machines) / Lathe/Mill Combo Conversion
« on: February 20, 2007, 04:33:01 PM »
Here are some shots of my Lathe/Mill combo. I purchased it in Canada from Busy Bee Tools (Craftex Brand) but there are some disturbingly similar ones available elsewhere (e.g. Harbor Freight etc.)
I bought this as my first machine a newbie, I realize now the mill column isn't super-stiff and it's kind of awkward having to put a riser block on the bed to get near the spindle. It works fairly well for my hobby-grade stuff nonetheless.
(why yes, that is an A2Z toolpost, home made digitizing probe on top of the cabinet, homecnc.info servos, homeshopcnc ballscrews, etc... )
